This article gives a good name to a phenomenon that goes hand in hand with the mindless #DigitalTransformation hype: self-service age.

I tooted earlier that in our Albert Heijn supermarket they switched to self-scan barracks surveilled by underage guards, ready to frisk your shopping basket. Everyone can be a thief, and thus by extension also a MS-13 gang member. Modern logic.

Digital transformation this way helps unravel the fabric of society. It only dehumanises us.

Hell is not other people – it’s being stuck in the ninth circle of an automated telephone service

Tuvalu is celebrating its first ATM, but here’s a warning from the UK, where human contact has been lost to the self-service age, says author Hilary Freeman

Oh, look! Another tech 'visionary' gushing over AI as if it's the second coming of sliced bread. 🙄 Apparently, if you're not worshipping the AI overlords, you're just a dinosaur waiting for extinction. 🦖🚂 Better hop on that bandwagon, folks, before it leaves you coding in the stone age! 🧱💻

Here we go, with another pre-RSAC 2025 Conference Coverage Brand Story!

#QuantumSecurity, Real Problems, and the Unifying Layer Behind It All
A Brand Story with Marc Manzano, General Manager, Cybersecurity Group at SandboxAQ

As we get ready for RSAC 2025, we’re kicking things off with some Brand Story conversation that sets the tone for what’s coming.

In this pre-event episode, SandboxAQ shares how their flagship platform, Active Guard, is reshaping #cybersecurity at the intersection of #AI and #quantum. From cryptographic asset management to non-human identity oversight and automated compliance, it’s all about solving real challenges and building a more secure, interoperable future.

ITSPmagazine's Co-founders Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin, CISSP sat down with Marc Manzano for a first look at the #technology and thinking behind it — and what you can expect from their presence at RSA Conference 2025.

We’ll reconnect and record with SandboxAQ on location at #RSAC2025 for a deeper dive into this critical conversation.

A special thank you to SandboxAQ for sponsoring our RSAC 2025 coverage and supporting this exploration into the future of cybersecurity.

If you had swapped the top and bottom sections of the page, things would already give a better impression.

Current page seems to reflect the actual priorities be on mindless #DigitalTransformation again. Let's fund that and enjoy our future:

People at the centre [of the machine].
Freedom of choice [but not offline].
Safety and security [for AI/cloud vendors].
Solidarity and inclusion [behind your screen].
Participation [with the mouse (or VR??)].
Sustainability [obligatory mention, AI-first].

⚠️ AI adoption alert: Enterprises struggle with ROI and scalability 🤖📉

A recent CDW report highlights significant challenges in enterprise AI initiatives:
📊 64% of IT leaders report AI ROI at 50% or less
🚀 Only 1 in 3 have fully deployed their highest-priority AI projects
🧠 Common hurdles include unfit data structures, skills shortages, and high costs

Despite these obstacles, optimism remains. Many organizations anticipate cost savings within the next three years, with some already realizing benefits. For instance, General Mills attributed over $20 million in savings to AI-driven supply chain optimizations.

ROI, full-scale deployment of AI remains elusive

Most businesses estimated returns of 50% or less on their AI projects, according to a CDW Group report.
